H1Z1 - Zombie apocalypse sandbox from SOE

It's SOE, if my time with Planetside 2 was anything to go by, ignore all time estimates. They will give a time, the time will come and go, they will give a new estimated time, this will also come and go, and will be replaced with another ETA

They always come across a "last minute showstopper"

9pm great not gonna have any time on it tonight at this rate

Glaucus · 15 Jan 2015 at 19:43

Think I'll just wait till tomorrow. There's going to be issues with servers and other bugs anyway.

Steam forums are going crazy Jesus Christ some people need to relax lol. Most of the Steam lot will moan about the state of the game anyway.

People are playing it on twitch already so some people already have it.

AFAIK the people on Twitch are either playing other games while waiting or streaming footage from the previous tests, not actually playing it, AFAIk of course.

He was streaming a video of him playing the previous test releases whilst waiting for the game to be released.

I'll be following this thread with interest as I have £35 steam pounds burning a hole in my steam wallet. Played a bit of DayZ to get myself in the mood.

1hr...2hr...1hr...2hr...1hr...2hr

Why didn't they just let us pre-load it!

SixTwoSix · 15 Jan 2015 at 20:39

Meh, just buy it in the morning when I wake at 5am, leave it downloading while at work and hopefully play when I get back at 3PM if it's not broken.

I think from memory it is some Steam rule, you can not preload EA titles. They just don't allow the devs to offer the service for EA, pretty sure that is why.

Food & drink set.

Yeah think I will go and play some A3 Epoch on Cherno, will grab this before work and also leave it downloading. It is a good thing they are doing the delays, clearly something is stopping it from being at least playable.

Thesnipergecko · 15 Jan 2015 at 20:59
